Los Enanitos Verdes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Los Enanitos Verdes (Little Green Men) is a successful music group from Argentina. Started in the province of Mendoza, the group has achieved wide-spread fame across Latin America. In 1990, they separated, but in 1992, band members Marciano Cantero (lead singer), Daniel Piccolo (drummer) and Felipe Staiti (guitar), decided to make a comeback. During 2003, they went on tour with Alejandra Guzman. They have, among other things, earned a Gaviota de Plata (Silver Gull) at the Festival de Viña del Mar in Chile. For a little while, in 1984, they had Sergio Embrioni perform as a guest musician. Their cover of Los Bukis' hit "Tu Carcel" became a popular hit in the U.S.
